Biker Jackets.

Biker Jackets. Designer Biker Jackets The biker look is sure to be one of the key trends for Autumn 2008/ Winter 2009. Buy into this look now and reap the reward of investment dressing and getting the full benefit of owning a fashionable leather jacket. One of the most inspired biker jackets was from the House of Balenciaga. Zips are not just functional, but used for eye catching decorative effect. I also like the biker version from McQueen and Oscar de la Renta shown below. Far right - Balenciaga biker jacket at about £1400+. Note the designer edge and those extra long sleeves that could be cuffed or worn so nonchalantly overhand. Perfect for Biker Goth looks. High Street Biker Jackets Almost all the main brands and high street shops have their version of a leather biker bomber jacket and many have half a dozen styles. Whilst black is favourite, grey, navy tan, brown and animal print biker bombers are all on the racks too. The collar on biker jackets is frequently fur or faux fur, or the whole jacket can be made up as fur bomber jackets. For a low cost fur, try this fake fur jacket from the BHS Autumn 2008 range. Far right - Fake fur bomber biker jacket from BHS Autumn 2008 range - £59. Leather is of course the obvious choice for the body of any biker jacket, but don't forget denim for biker jackets. ASOS have this great little denim biker jacket, perfect for good weather days beyond summer. Their denim zip detail biker jacket is just £35. Right - ASOS Womenswear Autumn/Winter 2008 Near left - River Island sparkle biker jacket Autumn/Winter 2008/9. Shimmer effects and glistening metallic leather, snakeskin and croc effects all keep shimmer and glimmer in mainstream fashion. Fabrics that sparkle and shine in biker looks give a new edginess to this favourite retro fashion. Following this autumn's fashion trend for tartan plaids and checks, ASOS also have a black and white hounds-tooth biker jacket at £45. But if you prefer a plain biker jacket to hit all the right trend notes add a tartan skirt to your biker jacket HOME
